Get msys/mingw with the default installer
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/Automated%20MinGW%20Installer/mingw-
get-inst/mingw-get-inst-20110211/mingw-get-inst-20110211.exe
and selected also g++, msys, and tools.

Then get kbs.tcl from
  http://sourceforge.net/projects/kbskit/files/

Put it in a directory and run:
  ./kbs.tcl -r install kbskit8.5 nsf2.0
If everything works you can find the lib under directory build*/

Or to get a interpreter containing nsf run:
  ./kbs.tcl -r -bi=nsf2.0 -vq-bi install kbskit8.5

Hope this works.
